Mine would do the very same thing, using the gnome base package monitor
configuration thingie application... but if I use the nVidia supplied X
configuration tool, to set a higher resolution, ~and apply and then
write it out~, I can go back to the monitor setup-up and THEN set it to
the correct resolution, as it now has a choice to do so, showing up in
it's pick-n-chose drop-down list, where it didn't before. Makes sense?
That's OK, I get confused easily too, in my dottage and pain-killers.
So, I had to bounce from one to the other to get to where I wanted to
be. THEN it worked. I leave the timing on "auto" as setting my 21"
display to 85 hz it went ape. Maybe my FX-5500 just ain't up to the
task, I dunno. My monitor manual sez that is where it should be, but
either nvidia or X or the card ain't handling it. Ric

Except that with the nvidia driver, I cannot get a resolution higher
than 320x200. go figure!
I have an intuitive idea that the system is not getting any edid
information from the monitor, as cvt gives no input.
Not to sure how to procedd from here

That blows my mind as the old 5200 is pretty solid. It is long in the
tooth though. But, I just changed mine out about a year ago for a 5500.
It worked just fine up till then. Didja try to open jockey and purge the
nvidia driver, reboot and crank up jockey again to re-install the
driver?? Cripes, something has to give. Worse comes to worse, you may
have to install the nvidia bin file straight from nvidia, but that would
be my ~very last~ resort. It doesn't install library stuff in the
"standard" Ubuntu locations. I know, I'm weeping WITH you. <chuckles>

I have to face fairly major surgery in the next week or so, so I am not
sweeting on this one. It is a spare machine that I thought I would set
up as a backup system in case of hardware failure on my other machines.
Purely as an email/newsgroup collector.
I am still pursuing the thought that the beast is not getting the edid
information from the monitor. This idea is supported by the fact that I
can install mint/ubuntu 10... onto a crt monitor with no trouble, and
the full range of resolutions.
Current thought is to install the system using the crt monitor, then set
the resolution using the 173 driver, write out to xorg.conf then hook up
the new monitor and see what happens,
Will get back to you when I have gone through that process.
Cheers Chris

Good on you, Chris. It's usually something we humans just overlook, and
the damn computer is doing what we tell it to do, even if we didn't. To
anyone else reading this, take a Percoset (if you LEGALLY have a
prescription, for pain relief) and it'll make absolute sense. Ric

This is probably an issue of your graphics card rather than the
display itself. Please furnish information about what graphics card
is in your system. You can use the output of the lspci command to
find this.
